Baby Boy Name Opinion 🩵

[Elly1995]

Hello all,

I have found out I am having a baby boy, and would like to hear your opinions on the name I like for him.

First name: Elio
Middle name: Heath

Elio Heath.

What do you all think please? I am looking for uncommon, a bit different but still likeable + not a name where he could get picked on when he starts school.

Thanks.

I know a real life Dalton. In his 30s. Cool name IMO

Olio! Ilyas is nice.

Heath is nice as a middle name but not sure on Elio, don’t know how to pronounce it.
what about Elliot thought, that’s nice and you could sometimes use elio as a nickname.

I like Edison + Dalton, I have been thinking of Edison Rio. I don’t think Elliot is for me, it’s too common.

I like Edison but not Dalton. Although I do think Dalton James sounds kinda cute

Edison is much better than Elio - I think a lot of people would be unsure of how to spell/pronounce Elio. How about Ellis?

Edison Heath or Edison Rio would both be nice.
Dalton Heath would be nice too, but not Dalton Rio imo.

I really like Edison Rio. Unusual but easy to spell and pronounce.
I would have pronounced Elio as Ee-lee-oh, although obviously it's easy to pronounce when you know how. It's still my least favourite of the names you've mentioned.

Dalton is a well known surname in Ireland. Edison is nicer.

are you Italian? If so nice. Otherwise they’ll probably have people ask them throughout life “are you Italian?” and they’ll have to say no…
I don’t know, always seems a bit naff to me.

Edison is nice as PP suggested. Ed/eddie a great nn.

Heath is a cool name imo.

Elio is a bit random and doesn't roll off the tongue.

I think heath as a first name is better

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 never have I asked someone were they a specific nationality because of their name

I like Elio

Not so much Dalton or Edison

I agree with PP that -Heath as a second makes it sound like a place 😂 sorry

Im partial to a quirky name myself. My son’s is one you don’t hear a lot, but not crazy. I’ve come across only one other so far

@Heidi2018 , why is it so funny? I've asked a few people things like 'Are you italian/portuguese/scottish/ghanaian?'

I really like Elio, its cool and sounds friendly.

I do always read Heath as Health so with a uncommon firstname, to me it reads as a private healthcare company - ElioHealth

No, I am British. I have a French & German first name though, which is Eloise. I don’t think it matter where the name originates from, you don’t have to choose a British name if you like names from other countries. My farthers families surname is Francis, which again is french but none of us are from there. X

I’ve never heard anyone called that. I don’t like Heath. I went to school with one and he wasn’t my favourite person so I’m biased.

Leo is really popular. Elio sounds like you're spelling out L-E-O.

@Emanwenym I don't think all the Francescas in the UK are asked if they are Italian just because it's clearly an Italian and not a British name 😁

@Mae2B , I wouldn't ask a Francesca, but I would ask a Federico or Enzo.

Well, I understood! And while I actually like the novel and the film based on it, I’m not so convinced a child in the Anglosphere would particularly appreciate a name popularly associated with a film whose most famous scene is Timothée Chalamet pleasuring himself with a peach and having a fling with Armie Hammer.

Dalton is too similar to Dalston, a borough in east London with a high crime rate so to me Dalton Heath sounds like a rec ground where a stabbing is being reported 😂

Haha haven't live in uk in 17 years so don't recall Dalston!

I only think of Patrick Swayzes character Dalton from the movie Roadhouse so it's eminently cool in my head!

Sorry a bit too try hard.
As is Dalton.
